Black Bush

What the Distillery Says:
With an intriguing flavor and a name to match, this is our special blend. It combines a uniquely high proportion of malt whiskey matured in former Oloroso Sherry casks with a sweet, batch-distilled grain whiskey. This unique recipe gives Black Bush its rich fruity notes and deep intense character, balanced by a unique smoothness.

What Richard Says:Nose: The nose is very rich. It reminds me of sherry drizzled warm apple pie.Palate: It’s more delicate and viscous than I would’ve expected. It’s also a little nutty too.Finish: This is my least favorite part. It’s a little like licking an empty sherry barrel.Comments: In my lowly personal opinion this is probably the best value in the Bushmills range. At around $35 it swings well above classic Bushmills and the 10 year old single malt version.Rating: Stands Out
